“No literature is infallible, but while errors in scientific literature are proudly mended by later scientists, errors in religious literature are rarely mended - they are interpreted, reinterpreted, and justified in a million ways, but never questioned, as very few persons of faith have got the brain and backbone to acknowledge errors, let alone correct them - this is not holiness, it's blindness most primitive.

Reverence without revision isn't sanctity, it's stagnation - and stagnation might feel honorous, but it leads to devolution. Just because it's habit doesn't make it holy - admission of error is the beginning of enlightenment.”
